Display error logs

If you have errors, you might want to display the error log. Your error log contains a list of errors that occurred on your system.

When you review these errors, you might be able to determine the problem.

To view the error log:

  1. Type PRTERRLOG on any command line and press F4.
  2. Type the parameter value for the kind of error log information that you want to print. For example, you can specify *ALL to print all the error codes, or specify *ALLSUM to print a summary of the error log.
  3. Press Enter. The error log information is sent to the output queue that is identified in your user profile.
  4. Type GO ASSIST on any command line to display the Operational Assistant menu.
  5. Look for the error log at or near the bottom of the printer output list on the Work with Printer Output display.
  6. Type 5 (Display) to view the printer output.

You can also print the error logs.
